Yes, it's clear that these platforms can do much more than just identify festivals, but institutional constraints are the weak link here. The problem is when flights are sold through online travel agencies (OTAs) that are not always up to date. I've seen prices displayed that were no longer available once the transaction was initiated, especially for the most aggressive offers. That's the breaking point of these brilliant tools.

Claiming that flight search engines are just a reflection of local events misses the huge potential of these tools to find real deals, festival or not.
The volatility of airline ticket prices is an opportunity, and these platforms allow us to exploit it for significant gains.
I've seen friends save hundreds of euros on flights to Greece by simply adjusting their departure dates by a few days, without considering any local event.
The real advantage is being able to "lean in" to these price fluctuations, not just reacting to a concert or a football match.
Labeling these platforms as mere materializations of the impact of events is to underestimate their ability to reveal opportunities far beyond the local atmosphere. The maximum value of these tools lies in their power to uncover price asymmetries and cheaper flight days, regardless of a festival's presence. I've seen people find tickets at negligible prices to Lisbon in the middle of summer, simply by playing with flexible dates or secondary airports, with no major event in mind. The true full expression of these tools is maximizing savings on transportation.
